PAGE FOUR MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1940. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Pelicans Display Promise in Debut Against Cat Team Clean Matmen to Gang Nazarian in Battle Royal Tonight1 01 PLANS TCI Awful Arme" in Action Three of the four Southern Oregon conference prep grid eleven made auspicious itarti along the 1940 football road over the week-end. but even tnougn each of the trio turned In vic tories it if still too early to make prediction ai to their ultimate itanding at the cloie of the season. The Klamath Falls Pelicans operated in fairly impressive fashion to stop Chico, (Cal.) high school at Klamath, IS to 0. Ash land's Grizzlies, sparked by 190 pound Martin Herrin, fullback, presented new coach Leighton Blake with a 7 to 6 conquest of Lakeview at Lakeview. And the Grants Pass Cavemen looked fair in thumping Dunsmuir, (CalJ high at McCloud, 7 to 0. Coach Bill Bowerman of Med ford's Black Tornado, the lone Iood team which didn't unveil Its 1940 edition, was among those present when Klamath climbed over Chico, and his reaction to the performance of the Pelicans should be of passing interest Klamath and Medford tied for the league title last season and are again expected to fight It out for the crown. "Snowy's taam showed a lot of promise." the Medford coach slated. "They are all about the same slse, and li lookad to ma like the club would average around ISO pounds. No giants- on the taam, and no lightweights, either. Just well-balanced aggregation. "Chico was clearly outplayed, and actually the score should have been much larger than it was. The Pelicans should have cored twice more in the first half and once more In the sec ond half. However, as in most first games, the Pelicans were rather erratic. They would dia play real class for while, then bog down. But they have the makings of a very good team." Ashland reports Indicate that the Grizzlies will this year rely a great deal on deception and wide open tactics, something that has been rather out of favor the past several seasons. Quite a bit of mirror-work and aerial stuff was pulled against Lake view, with Herrin's smashing line-plunging aiding by keeping the defense drawn close. The Cavemen, possibly be cause they were playing an awful tough Dunsmuir outfit, didn't look like world-beaters. How ever, according to local persons who saw the game, Loren Tut tle'a team made it clear it would be no pushover for anybody. As usual, it showed a stubborn de fense with not too much scoring potency. After next week-end. it will be possible to get a much better line on how the Southern Ore gon circuit teams stack up.

Piluso, Wahlberg, Wagner and Hagen to Collaborate Three Matches Follow Mike Nazarian and Steve Nenoff, roughles, will face the individual and combined fury of four legitimate matmen in the armory tonight as Promoter Mack Lillard sends a half-dozen of his choicest grappling char acters into battle royal action designed to send the clients into a frenzy of excitement and pair the six gladiators for three reg ular matchs to follow. The pro gram will start at 8:30 sharp. Ernie Piluso. Whitey Wahl berg. George Wagner and Jack Hagen are the clean and scien tific wrestlers who will colla borate In the struggle against the two villains, and according to last reports they are deter mined to literally wipe up the armory carpet with the remains of the brutal pair. Whether, In the face of a concerted onslaught by the quartet of popular favorites, Nazarian and Nenoff will pool their own underhand tactics as a means of protection, is a question that won't be answer ed until the gents begin the actual battling. However, Pro moter Mack Lillard has report ed that Nenoff at least tenta tively plant to cast his lot with Nazarian. Mike Faces Defeat If he does, that will make the c 1 e a n i e a' Job slightly tougher, for two bad men will naturally be harder to handle than one. Regardless of what Nenoff does, Nazarian apparent ly it face to face with getting his big ears pinned back for the first time since he started twist ing torsos in the local arena. The four clean fellows will let nothing stand in their pathway to a complete annihilation of the Armenian horror. Following the battle royal. the six grapplers will be paired off In two six-round tiffs and a one-hour main event. The first two men pinned In the free-for-all will return to tangle In the opener, second two elim inated will face each other In the center attraction, and the battle royal finalists will col lide in the top contest KzttitiEJ? : J: -J ,;. ,L. yI&Sl " id COAST PLAYOFFS OPEN THIS WEEK; HOW THEY?
